    I got my american flag decal in the mail today!

    Chris: I also received the American Flag decal today and promptly placed it on the car. Thanks for helping to fuel the patriotic engine. The decal looks fantastic. I placed it directly below the CHMSL and between the stripes. Thanks also for your suggestions on where to stay and what to do...

    NO ONE SOLD !!!

    I would not consider selling a single share under the present circumstances. Patriotism indeed, but as a pure investment strategy ..... why sell low? The market will be back in a big way. Those that did cash out will live to regret it!

    Transmission Mount?

    Are you referring to the rear trans mount? Sort of like a rear engine mount? If yes, what happened to the original? My 99 ACR was making a wicked noise on heavy accel - sounded like the trans hitting the tunnel. Indeed, that turned out to be the case. Trans mount is on order from DC. Is...

    Ferrari 550 Maranello vs GTS (long)

    I love this analogy ....... Sports Car International wrote "the Ferrari is more like a fine cutlass and the Viper more of a two-handed battle-ax. You can dispatch your opponent with either one, but only the Viper can cleave his head clear off in one massive stroke".

    Snapped off a lugnut, need advise...

    Don't assume that your torque wrench is functioning properly. I have a Craftsman 0 - 150 ft. lb. torque wrench. I used it to torque the lower rear shock/spring assembly to the lower control arm bolt. At the upper end of the scale, the wrench simply didn't "click" and I cranked and cranked...

    A TRIBUTE TO THE UNITED STATES

    This, from a Canadian newspaper, and is worth sharing. America: The Good Neighbor. Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a remarkable editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television commentator. What follows is the full text of his trenchant...

    Why do you like stripes vs no stripes on your Viper?

    Nice try Tony but you're not going to lure me into another urinating contest with any testosterone deprived girly-men. Oops ..... I hope they didn't catch that!

    YES! Broke into the NINES!

    When you spend most of your driving time ankle deep in go pedal, fuel economy is anything but foremost on your mind.

    Advice - If you had 12,000 to spend on mods on a stock car what would they be?

    K&N's/smoothies Skip shift eliminator Short throw shifter Headers/cat back Big brakes Drag racing? 3.42 gears Road racing? HD radiator/engine oil cooler/PS cooler 1.7 ratio rockers/65mm throttle bodies (both or niether) Have a ball .....

    Why do you like stripes vs no stripes on your Viper?

    OK - are we about to start a flame war over stripes or what? It's a simple matter of personal taste that has absolutely nothing to do with ones age. Cheesy with stripes? I think not! I've refrained from adding a comment that would indeed precipitate internet armagedon but I am cocked and...

    How do you protect your Viper at the track?

    I only participate in non-competitive events (PDA, Track Time, etc.). To minimize the track effects (notice I said minimize), I first apply a coat of Zaino to make post-track clean-up that much easier and effective. I then install a full front end mask and mirror masks. Finally, I apply...

    Can you mix Amsoil with Mobil 1 synthetic

    At $4.50/qt. for Mobil 1, why take the chance? Toss the Amsoil and use 100% Mobil 1.

    Great deal on ACR - is it worth it?

    See my comments below: Hey guys, I have been reading the thousands of postings on here for the last week, as I scour the classifieds for the *perfect* viper. I just found a 2000 ACR (with A/C & radio), steel gray no stripes, only 1000 miles, no scratches, etc. for $66,500 firm. This seems like...

    Borla exhaust like fine wine.

    I purchased a Borla system for my ZR-1 and it too was like a fine wine - unfortunately sold before its time. Glad to hear you have had better luck. Is it a cat-back system? Did you go catless?

    Why do you like stripes vs no stripes on your Viper?

    For me there's no question whatsoever - stripes are the way to go on a Viper, any Viper. I purchased my car w/o stripes, pondered the issue for several months, decided on black stripes (my car is silver) and haven't regretted it a bit. Everyone says the car looks so much better with stripes...

    It's My Story & I'm Stickin' To It

    Re: It\'s My Story & I\'m Stickin\' To It This may seem silly to some, but I have a supply of 8 x 11 color prints of my avitar that I carry behind the passenger's seat. When I encounter a lad that is just crazy memorized over the Viper I hand one out. I've been asked to sign the photo which I...

    Why didn't dodge go with the ZF transmission instead of the t-56?

    Re: Why didn\'t dodge go with the ZF transmission instead of the t-56? I recall that there were some durability issues relating to the ZF unit in the ZR-1. A number of cars that were making big power (&gt; 450 rwhp) realized ZF failures. Perhaps that why Dodge elected to go with the BW. The...

    Flat spotted front tires, suggestions...

    SoCal Rebel: I had the same problem. Here's what worked for me. I found a shop in PA that has a Hunter balancer that also measures the runout of the wheel, the runout of the tire, the balance of the wheel and the balance of the tire. A computer matches the low spot on the tire with the high...

    Lose the cats...... problem solved. You live in PA so you will need to consider emission inspection implications. I would swap the cats for mufflers and vice-versa.

    ACR RATTLERS- DODGE FINALLY ANSWERS!! Long

    In my "rush to make my weekly flight to Atlanta", I read $400 for the DSP's instead of $4000. Still a great job by Bob Carroll, but DC's response, as relates to the DSP option, is just plain f***en silly. Given no other realistic option, I will probably opt for the GTS set-up for everything...
